Hi!

But you can already Fav' the page and follow the website daily, there are interesting interview from 3D artist and their experience in the industry.

Hate going to the Area because it's so slow, but that's a great interview. Great to see your Mel tools in action, and your workflow breakdowns. Nice work!

Thank you guys! and do not hesitate to leave a message on the bottom of the interview! ^_^!!


About the new game section of the AREA, do not forget that community is sponsored by Autodesk...
Then I think (and totaly my own opinion), to participate and to speak more about Autodesk`s products on their own community coul help to make more alive the communication between Autodesk and individual users from the game industry...

I am the first guy to say shit on Maya I am using 8h a day every days in the Technical section of Polycount, but this is like speaking to the wind...
To tell the truth I also do it on the AREA but I am the only losing guy on their community... then...

To be a little more could help to move things better over there... I hope.... really....


What do you think about it guys?

Eric Chadwick

Huh, maybe I was wrong about the AREA forum being slow and unresponsive. It's quicker than I remember.

One thing that's been a bit of a put-off in the past is the absence of Autodesk personnel on the forums. The fact that it's only peer-to-peer makes it quite a contrast to all other companies' support forums. This tends to feels like a lack of direct communication, and ratchets up the discontent among users.

But it's still a great resource.

DrunkShaman

What do I think? I think you are missing the entire software guide on it.

It is missing 3ds max and majority uses it here and some of them use maya. I'd strongly suggust you should add 3ds max tutorials for game arts and punch-ins (game programming) along with few other engines in it.

Overall the community is great!! and I replied to one of your threads regarding game platforms also. I'll see if I can find 3ds max tutorials for games and all and try to discuss it there.

Thanks for sharing.
